Outdoor Dog Kennels
And Dog Houses


Outdoor Dog Kennels

If your garden is enclosed, your dog may be left outdoors to play and exercise freely and safely, in the fresh air - which has got to be better than being stuck indoors all day!

Your Cocker Spaniel probably sleeps indoors, snuggled up at the bottom of your bed or in his own warm, cosy, bed.

However, you might also like to consider buying him an outdoor kennel, so that when he's playing or exercising in the garden he'll have somewhere safe to retreat to - somewhere that will protect him against the weather, providing shade and shelter.

Dog kennels and dog houses are available in many different styles, sizes, and prices to suit all budgets, but they can also be very expensive.

However, if you're on a limited budget, you can still find good quality, cheap kennels - you just need know where to look!

When it comes to choosing dog kennels, it's advisable to give the subject a bit of forethought, for example, what size of kennel will you need, what type of material you prefer, the best place to site it, etc.

When He Could Be Oustide
Enjoying The Fresh Air?


Dog Pens Will Allow Your Cocker Spaniel To Play Safely, Indoors or Outdoors!

Dog pens are typically rectangular metal enclosures, about three or four feet in height, which allow our pets to play safely in the garden, whilst at the same time benefiting from lots of fresh air and exercise.

Most small dog pens are collapsible, making it easy to use them in either the garden or indoors, if you've the available space.

You may not always be around to supervise your puppy - this is where a dog pen is invaluable!

A pen is the ideal place to leave him to play for an hour or two while you get on with your day.

If your Hound Houdini is always escaping from your garden, or you simply want a safe environment for your dog to romp around and play in, dog pens may provide just the solution you're looking for.


Dog Runs

Dog runs are an invaluable asset!

A dog run is a large wire-metal fence that forms an outdoor enclosure to keep your dog secure and prevent him from escaping and running off.

Our Cocker Spaniels need lots of exercise and they love to be outdoors but, unfortunately, we can't always be around to supervise them.

A dog run is ideal as it can provide a safe place for your dog to run freely, giving you the peace of mind that he's safe and enjoying the benefits of fresh air.

Important Note: Dog runs should never be a substitute for walking your dog as he will need the aerobic exercise that running free in the fields will give him.

Walking also satisfies one of the basic instincts that most dogs still harbour, and that's 'migrating' (running) with his pack.

Our article entitled 'Dog Runs - How To Build A Dog Run' may prove very useful if you plan to build your own.





Dog kennels may allow your dog to enjoy the outdoors more often, but your dog will need somewhere safe, warm and cosy to sleep when he's indoors.

Comfortable dog beds and dog crates fitted with a couple of cosy dog blankets, certainly fit the bill and will provide safe places for your dog to retreat to if things get a little too hectic!
